*Assuming that it is not cost-effective to trace the low-cost glue to individual frames.
The following explanation is provided for instructional purposes, but it is not required.
Depreciation on company cars used by the sales force is a marketing expense, interest expense is a financing expense,
and the company president’s salary is an administrative expense. None of these expenses is incurred in the
manufacturing plant, so they are not part of manufacturing overhead.
The wood for frames is a direct material, not part of manufacturing overhead.

b. Depreciation expense on old manufacturing

it with newer equipment.

c. The fair market value of old manufacturing

d. The interest rate paid on invested funds, when

e. The cost of land purchased 3 years ago, when

f. The total amount of the restaurant’s fixed costs,

g. Cost of operating automated production

i. Cost of purchasing packaging materials from an
outside vendor, when deciding whether to continue
manufacturing the packaging materials
40

Relevant – the type of gas used by the delivery vans will
affect the cost of operating the vans in the future.
Irrelevant – depreciation expense is simply the paper
write-off (expensing) of a sunk cost. Also, the remaining
net book value of the equipment will need to be
expensed regardless of whether the equipment is
replaced.
Relevant – the fair market value is the amount of money
the company could expect to receive from selling the
old equipment if they decide to replace it with newer
equipment.

Relevant – funds tied up in inventory cannot earn
interest. The higher the interest rate, the more likely the
company will want to decrease inventory levels and
invest the extra funds.
Irrelevant – the cost of the land is a sunk cost whether
the company builds on the land now, or in the future.
Most likely irrelevant – unless the additional items will
require the restaurant to purchase additional kitchen
equipment, the total fixed cost will probably not
change.
Relevant – the cost of employing labor versus
automating production will likely differ.
Irrelevant – the cost of the computers, which were
purchased in the past, is a sunk cost.
Relevant – the cost is relevant if it differs between
outsourcing and making the materials in-house.

The average product cost decreases as production volume increases
because the company is spreading its fixed costs over 5 million more
units. The company will be operating more efficiently, so the average
cost of making each unit decreases.

Exercises (Group B)
(10 min.) E 2-32B
a.

During production, manufacturing companies use direct labor and manufacturing overhead to convert direct
materials into finished products.

b.

Merchandising companies have only one category of inventory on their balance sheet.

c.

During production as units are completed, they are moved out of work in process inventory into
finished goods inventory .

d.

Inventory merchandise includes all of the costs associated with getting the goods to the store
including freight-in costs and import duties if the products for resale were purchased overseas.

e.

Merchandising companies can either be wholesalers or retailers.

f.

Raw materials inventory includes the wood, fasteners, and braces used in building picnic tables at a park
furniture manufacturer.

g.

Wholesalers sell products to other companies (typically not to individual consumers).

h.

Service companies make up the largest sector of the U.S. economy.

Material and labor costs that can be traced directly to particular units manufactured are direct costs if
the manufactured product is the cost object .

b.

Direct costs are outlays that can be identified with a specific product or department.

c.

Inventoriable product costs include the direct costs attributable to the production of the goods.

d.

In manufacturing, when goods are sold, costs are transferred from the finished goods inventory account
to cost of goods sold .

Allocation is used to assign the indirect costs to a product or department.

f.

Inventoriable costs include direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead costs.

g.

Prime costs are the combination of direct materials and direct labor.

h.
